PETALING JAYA: Actor Leonardo DiCaprio (pic) made a secret appearance before a grand jury recently to testify as part of the US Justice Department's investigation into 1MDB, reported the Washington Post. According to sources close to the case, grand jury proceedings are secret, so it was unclear what DiCaprio told grand jurors and how authorities got him into and out of the federal courthouse without drawing notice. A US Department of Justice (DoJ) spokesman and a representative for DiCaprio declined to comment. Local police have filed criminal charges against Low and his father over money allegedly stolen from 1MDB. 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) is a state investment fund which Najib launched in 2009 shortly after becoming Malaysia's prime minister.
